Show HN: An influxDB front end made for engineers
marpledata.com
I met many engineers using InfluxDB (https://www.influxdata.com/) for storing test and measurement data. InfluxDB is awesome.
But the UI confuses them sometimes. I see people struggling to
- find the time range of their data - make sense of window periods & aggregation functions - compare measurements across different time ranges - and much more...
Grafana does not plug the gap, because it is mainly aimed at monitoring real-time stuff. Engineers need to interact in a much more interactive way with their test data.
We have solved these challenges in the past for files in Marple. Today we bring the same UI to people using an Influx database.
This gives users - speed: Marple optimises the queries for you - UX: no windows, no aggregate functions to worry about - engineering workflow: data exports, statistics, compare time ranges, ... - projects: reuse plots and share interactively with your team
Fun fact: the refactor to generalise our data engine proved quite the challenge, feel free to ask our lead dev Jan (jan@marpledata.com) about this!
Make sure to try it out if you are using Influx - we have a free product tier!
